Wind, did anybody notice the wind!!!

Yes the day was great, but that wind added to the challenge.

First, thanks to Dale C, Kelton C & Allan C for stepping up to SO/RO

Thanks to CCC & Fred for the range and set-up (yes you too Bruce).

Had 27 shooters and 5 stages.

Stage 1 : 4 pistol poppers (not close shots) enroute to rifle with 5 steel targets (plates & mini poppers) from 125 to 211 yds

Stage 2: pistol plate rack (with some small plates) then from platform 6 steel plates ranging from 165 to 485 yds. Wind was a big influence on this stage.

Stage 3: Rifle, weak side and strong side 4 plates each from 99 to 199 yds

Stage 4: Jungle run , start with 80 yd slug shot then 10 poppers scattered in the trees, transition to pistol with 8 steel plates hidden in the trees and bushes.

Stage 5: Start rifle, 90 yd 12" steel plate, then 6 paper targets (10-20 yds) then transition to shotgun 90 yd slug shot, then 10 poppers with 5 rabbits mixed in.

Some observations:

• .308 was a good choice for the match

• Sometimes you just have to admit that that last plate is just adding time....

• Rabbits are harder than they look when empty

Low points down goes to Jake F, well shot Jake.

Overall match winner, Jake F, well shot and congratulations

Hope all had fun, see you next month at ImpactZone.

Wind, what wind. I had a great time, even though those were some of the smallest steel targets I have ever seen. Plus I think you figured out how to make them move. Very challenging. I look forward to more like that.

Thanks to Bob, Fred, and everyone else who made this match happen. It was a very challenging match and really put everyone's skills to the test. This was most certainly an accuracy match and not a speed match. I had a great time and learned a lot about my equipment and my personal limitations.

I guarantee before next match I will be working on my pistol accuracy. Those little 2" plates were killer with the pistol - much different than just putting two hits on paper at 5 yards.
